yea i know.. the average idm user is neurotic enough w/o blinding himself to girls who don't listen to idm (99% of the datable population that is).
anyway, i was being a little harsh on idm in my example. there are more unlistenable types of music, like noise and such, and lots of very melodic and engaging idm music. it's still, however, a poor idea to push idm on girls that we idm fans wish to court, as we are rather blind to the fact that most idm won't convert other people on the first listen. perhaps we forget that even us "enlightened" members of the male species probably didn't love it at the first listen either. i also stick by what i've been saying all along. if you play or lend some idm to a girl and she tells you it's great, 9 out of 10 times she's just telling a white lie because she doesn't want to upset you. she might not mind it but it's dubious that she'd be converted so easily, especially if she's accustomed to good old fashioned rock 'n' roll. and for the umpteenth time, check back with her in a few months to see which idm cd's she's purchased on her own if you really think she's become a fan of the genre.

Yes i know... i thought about that horoscope-line for a long time... and i think it's for a large part completely true. Before you've ever actually fallen in love, you already have an idea in your head of what it's supposed to be like.
Just seems unhealthy to me. Especially considering how Hollywood-movies don't always give a very realistic image of romance :-/

"not only is idm not the best music in the world, it's one of
the worst -- boring, pointless, and cold. "
I see it as totally the oppositee
Sophisticated, innovative and worm

"the average idm user is neurotic enough"
lol! That's more true than alot of us care to admit ;-)
But yeah, i really agree with that last post even more. About it being a poor idea to push idm onto these girls... i would go even one step further to you and say that maybe we are even blind to the fact that there is a large chance they won't like it at all... not on first listen, not on second listen and not after a 100 listens either :-p
And also: if a girl that was special to me would give me a mixtape that i didn't like... i would find it really hard to tell her the truth that i hated it....
And if i would find 'her' music even remotely interesting, i would probably tell her i loved it, thinking it'll probably grow on me more later ;-)
Infact... the fact that i got it from such a girl would probably really make me like it more! Just because it came from her, and has all these associations and happy memories attached to it... i wouldn't even have to pretend i liked it.
So yes... i think your theory is pretty much correct... girls 'll say they love it, but most of them will probably just listen to it to please you :-/ In any case it's a bad idea to try and persuade her into liking it. If she is truly interested in it, she would probably just ask if you can let her hear some of the music you're always listening to anyway.

you mean fireflies? (feux-follets)
Do you have a site that displays more of your work? I would love to see more of it :-) (or just the entire painting instead of just this fragment, he).
The one before the last one you had (not the one previous to this one, but before that... 3 avatars ago... lol, i can't explain it at all :-p It was beautiful anyway!

oh yeah, now i see it! Hadn't even noticed you misspelled it... you're so polite ;-) Your parents would be proud of you if they also read on this board!
And it was definitly a face! Must have been that one then, i love that you give them names. It was a face that looked a little nervous i thought.
Anyway, be sure to let me know about the site! Tell us when it's finished :-)

and yet you continue to waste your time here ;-) Hehe... well just like me actually. I've got lots of things to do... and still i keep coming back to this board. And time does fly by when i'm on here!
I made a storybook once :-) (i graduated with it from artschool)... but now i can't find a publisher that wants to publish it, hehe, so there you go. But it doesn't matter, i'm still proud of it and i wouldn't change a single word in it!
Anyway, i think i've made my point clear that i'm very interested in your work, so i'll just leave at this for now, can't wait to see the site when it's done!

Surrounder: I would like just to find a girl with which I have an interest in common.
A girl with which I would enjoy conversation instead of "just waiting my turn to speak".
I just asked this question because IDM and music in general is one of my major interests, and I wanted to see if you were having teh same problem =\

"I would like just to find a girl with which I have an interest in common.

Eh? Isn't that what we all want? That sounds to me like a normal relationship... i'd definitly want what you just described :-)
Music is also very important to me... and ofcourse i would also like to be able to share my feelings about that with my girlfriend...
But i think relationships can work for different reasons... not just because two people share exactly the same interests.
If you're in a relationship, and you find yourself frustrated by the fact your girlfriend doesn't like the same music you like... there's probably just something wrong in your relationship :-/
If you're truly in love with a girl (even if she likes R Kelly, nelly or whatever else music you hate)... it won't matter :-D You will find other things to talk about, and just give each other the freedom to enjoy your own music.
Well... that is how i see it at the moment anyway. But maybe what i just said is also part of some sort of idealistic image of "relationship" i was taught by movies and books :-(
I do recognize what you're saying, but i think the problem isn't that these girls don't like idm. Probably you just weren't right for each other... sadly you can't force these things... no matter how badly you want it to work sometimes :-/

2) their taste in music shouldn't be something that influences your heart. it's a bonus, not a requirement.
